    Here's what the finished products look like. Some of the rocks are geodes DH cracked open for me. The Moms were thrilled, I've got brownie points up the wazoo now!

    Bet they will be treasured for years and years.

    I stumbled across some mini fairy garden web surfing a week or so ago and now I've been researching these mini/fairy gardens. I want to make a project with my daughters this summer and make one together. I love everyones ideas and little gardens, I. Seen a whole bunch of mini things like a cabinet similar to the one pictured and tons of doll/fairy/bird houses not painted at Michaels craft store, they have fake mini succulents but I want real ones. The only thing I can't seem to find is what ones go together, I think I will check out lowes or the local nursery. But wow I think you all have fantastic mini gardens. I can't wait to get started :)
